' To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, HERBERT H. LDERER,

`a citizen of the United States, residing at v panying drawings.

This invention relates to cuffs ofthe fold* ing type .and hasV for itsobject to provide a double cuff vof this type each member whereof mayconveniently serve as la cover or the shirt to 'be used for a period oftime required for the soiling of both cud members. I realize theforegoing object in and through theconstructions illustrated in thedrawings forming part hereof wherein'r-Figure l .represents an elevationof the interior of'a sleeve having my cud applied thereto, the

inner cuff member being folded up at one side; Fig. 2 a similar viewshowing the manner in which the inner cui member may be shifted so as tolie within and be pocketed by the outer member; Fig. 3 a view similar toFigs. 1 and 2 showing the arrangement of the cuff members after-theyhave beeny reversed; Fig. f1 a sectional view showing the culi' membersin normal and unfolded position; Fig. 5 a similar view showing the saidmembers folded; to Fig. 5 showing the Describing the various partsherein by reference characters, 1 denotes the Sleeve of a shirt, thesame being shown as open at its lower end and having attached to theouter side thereof a soft cuf 2 and to the inner side thereof a softcuff 3. The outer cuff member is stitched to the sleeve only at theupper corner portions thereof, as shown at 2a, the inner portion of thetop of the cuff member being cut out, as shown at 2". The inner cudmember is stitched to the inner side of the sleeve by means of anupwardly extending central tab 3a, the upper corner portions of saidmember` extending downwardly, as shown at 3", and being unattached tothe sleeve. Each cud member is provided with upper and lower buttonholes adapted to register when the said members are folded and toreceive acuif button to hold both members in folded and coperatingrelation. These button holes are indithe central portion of the top ofthe inner cuff member k portion Fig. 6 a view Similar cuifmembersreversed. i

Vis provided withia button k'6 cooperating with a button hole 7 in thecentral portion of the outer cuffy member to prevent the centralportionwof said member Vfrom sagging when it is used as a pocket'for'the inner member.

When the cuff is first used, the outer and y'inner Amembers will befolded outwardly When the member 3 becomes soiled, the but- Vton isremoved, allowing the cuff members to open, the button 6 is removed fromthe butrv'ton hole 7 and the sides of the inner cu' l member 3 maythenbe foldednwardly and the said member'may then be insertedbodily through`the slit `provided between the central portion lof the member 2 and thecentral of the member 3, as indicated in Figs. 1 and 2. This brings themember 3 outside of the member 2. The cud is again folded outwardly,along the line of fold, which causes the member 2 to form a cover andpocket for the member 3, as indicated in Fig. 6, and the cuff buttonsare again inserted in place, holding the cuff members in their nowreversed position. Having thus described my invention, what l claimis 1. The combination, with a shirt sleeve, of a foldable cuff membersecured at the upper corner portions only thereof to said sleeve and asecond foldablecud member secured at the upper central portion to saidsleeve,- vwhereby the second cuff member may be drawn through the spaceprovidedbetween the corner portions of the rst cuff member. 2. Thecombination, with a shirt sleeve, of

a Vfoldable cud member secured at the upperV depressed central portionintermediate ofV such corner portions, and a second foldable cuff memberhaving a central tab secured to said sleeve intermediate of the cornerportions of the first cud and having its upper corners cut away.

' The combination, with a shirt sleeve, of a foldable cuff' membersecured at the upper corner portions only to said sleeve, and a secondfoldable cuff member having a central tab secured to said sleeveintermediate of the corner portions of the first cuff, the

- cornerl portions ofsaid second member being cut away whereby saidsecond cuff member may lbe drawn through the space provided between thecorner portions of the first cuff member.

5. The combination, with a shirt sleeve, of a oldable cuifmember securedat the upper corner portions thereof to said sleeve and having a centraldepressed portion between said corner portions, and a secondfvfoldablecuff member having a central tab whereby ing a central depressed portionbetween said e corner portions, and a second foldable cuff member havinga central tab whereby it is secured to said sleeve between the cornerportions of the first member, one of said members having a button nearits upper end and the other member having a cooperating button hole.

7. The combination in a shirt sleeve, of a cu member secured at theupper corner portions only thereof to said sleeve, and a second cuffmember secured at its upper end and intermediate its corners to saidsleeve, the corner portions of said second member being, cut awaywhereby said second cuff member may be drawn through the space providedbetween the corner portions of the first cul member. A

8. The combination, with a vshirt sleeve, of a cuff member secured tosaid sleeve, and a second cuff member also secured to said sleeve, therebeing a slit below the point of attachment of one of said cuff membersthrough which such member may be drawn,

thereby to .permit the reversal of the arrangement of said cul members.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aiix `my signature. Y e
